The unthinkable has happened: Donald Trump, a narcissistic billionaire, adept in presenting himself as a “man out of the crowd,” is going to be the next President of the United States of America. This turn of events is unexpected, and has once again confirmed that, for whatever reason, polls are increasingly misleading in the modern world.

Perhaps it is time for us to emulate our ancestors who had to deal with an Ice Age and the ferocious Sabretooth, and try to sort out what has happened and, above all, what we should expect.
